A session on year-end tax planning will provide an overview of when to accelerate or defer income in conjunction with expense timing to manage tax liabilities now and for the future.
Four question-and-answer periods are scheduled during the three-hour program. Preregistration is required because seating is limited. The cost for the program and materials is $12.
